We have to challenge ourselves to become better versions of our old selves.
To become better at anything, we must challenge ourselves.
To grow, learn, understand, and create new connections in our brains, we must get out of our comfort zones.
That is in writing and in life.
Our brain, our writing, our lives are built on what came before. If there’s nothing new to add, we can’t grow.
Growing makes us better people, better writers. Therefore, challenges make us become better people, better writers.

I 100% agree with what you said at the end about saying things in different ways.
I’ve given advice before. However, someone else said just the same thing but in a different way, and it helped. Just changing words around – but not the meaning – can make a big difference.
Challenges do make us better writers too. I always love a challenge.
